4. Promotes Wound Healing
Vitamin K1 has an important role in blood coagulation and can help individuals heal after major surgery. It's unusual for people to have a deficiency of vitamin K1, but it's still important to include the nutrient in a healthy eating plan.
Before upping the intake of vitamin K1, individuals should consult their physician to confirm it's safe to do so. A single serving of carrots supplies 28 micrograms, which is just under a third of the minimum RDA.
